Moody’s Analytics Launches Tool for COVID-19 News Sentiment Analysis
Moody’s Analytics has launched Coronavirus Pulse, a machine learning-enabled tool for gauging COVID-19 news sentiment. This tool allows market participants to search for real-time news coverage, see COVID-19-related news stories about a chosen financial institution, company or sector, and view whether each story has adverse, neutral, or positive sentiment.
Coronavirus Pulse can be accessed free of charge from the Moody's Coronavirus Effects web page, which offers research and views on the credit and economic impacts of the pandemic.
“As the coronavirus crisis evolves, we recognize that comprehensive and timely information is imperative to decision makers,” said Keith Berry, Executive Director of Moody’s Analytics Accelerator. “Coronavirus Pulse complements quantitative analysis by helping market participants more efficiently identify emerging risk themes for the sectors they monitor.”
Coronavirus Pulse uses machine learning and natural language processing to find English-language news articles related to COVID-19 and identify companies, sector-specific themes, and events mentioned in each article. It then assigns “article” and “credit” sentiment to each news item by evaluating the overall context of the story. Adverse, neutral, or positive “article” sentiment is assigned based on an approach that captures reputational, political, medical, and macroeconomic risks. Meanwhile, adverse “credit” sentiment is assigned to each item based on an approach developed for use in the Moody’s Analytics Credit Sentiment Score™ solution, which captures credit-relevant risks.
Developed by the Moody’s Analytics Accelerator, Coronavirus Pulse is built on a transferable framework of artificial intelligence models and is custom-trained using relevant data from across Moody’s Analytics. It is part of an evolving suite of solutions that use advanced machine learning techniques to scan unstructured data and deliver news sentiment analysis.

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALNY), the leading RNAi therapeutics company, today announced results of new analyses from the HELIOS-B Phase 3 study of AMVUTTRA® (vutrisiran), an RNAi therapeutic approved for the treatment of the cardiomyopathy of wild-type or hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR-CM) in adults. Data from the 12-month follow-up of the ongoing open-label extension (OLE) period of HELIOS-B were presented during an oral session at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2025 held in Madrid, Spain. These data reflect outcomes of treatment through up to 48 months, including the initial double-blind period of 33-36 months, and highlight the ongoing clinical benefit of vutrisiran, which causes rapid knockdown of the disease-causing transthyretin (TTR) protein, including a 37% risk reduction in the composite endpoint of all-cause mortality (ACM) or first cardiovascular (CV) event in the overall population (p<0.001) and a 42% risk reduction in th

Daiichi Sankyo Announces the Initiation of the Development of Oral Triple Combination Lipid-Lowering Tablets to Support the Management of LDL-C30.8.2025 19:00:00 EEST | Press release
Daiichi Sankyo Europe is pleased to announce the initiation of the development of new oral triple combination tablets in Europe of bempedoic acid, ezetimibe, and different doses of a statin (atorvastatin or rosuvastatin), with the potential to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels.9 It is well known that combination therapies reduce the pill burden for patients, potentially enhancing treatment adherence and facilitating treatment with a goal of improving cardiovascular outcomes.9,10 “As bempedoic acid and ezetimibe are already approved as a single-dose therapy, the development of an oral triple combination tablet with different doses of a statin, can make it easier for physicians to tailor treatment to the individual needs of each patient,” says Dr. Stefan Seyfried, Vice President and Head Medical Affairs Specialty Medicines, Daiichi Sankyo Europe. “This approach exemplifies our dedication to our motto: ‘we care for every heartbeat’.” “The management of dyslipidaemia
Alnylam to Advance Zilebesiran into Global Phase 3 Cardiovascular Outcomes Trial30.8.2025 17:30:00 EEST | Press release
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALNY), the leading RNAi therapeutics company, today announced plans to initiate a Phase 3 cardiovascular outcomes trial (CVOT) to evaluate the potential of zilebesiran to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events. This decision is informed by results from the comprehensive KARDIA Phase 2 program, including KARDIA-3 results presented today as a late-breaking abstract at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress in Madrid, Spain. Zilebesiran is an investigational subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic which, in the KARDIA Phase 2 program, has shown reductions in blood pressure by targeting liver-expressed angiotensinogen (AGT), the most upstream precursor in the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS), which plays a key role in blood pressure regulation and impacts cardiovascular and renal health. KARDIA-3, the third Phase 2 study in the KARDIA program, evaluated the efficacy and safety of zilebesiran in patients with

BeOne Medicines Ltd. (Nasdaq: ONC; HKEX: 06160; SSE: 688235), a global oncology company, today announced positive topline results from a Phase 1/2 study (BGB-11417-201) of sonrotoclax, a next-generation and potentially best-in-class investigational BCL2 inhibitor, in adult patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), following treatment with a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) and anti-CD20 therapy. BeOne plans to present the full data at an upcoming medical meeting. “For people with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma, the disease is aggressive, the treatment landscape fragmented, and the outcomes unacceptably poor. These topline results for sonrotoclax underscore its potential to deliver meaningful and durable responses and offer the first BCL2 inhibitor for patients with R/R MCL, if approved,” said Lai Wang, PhD, Global Head of R&D, BeOne Medicines. “These data add to the remarkable progress we’ve seen over the past five years in treating B-cel
